Nearly 30% of Singaporean workers have never utilised artificial intelligence (AI) tools in their workplaces, reports The Independent Singapore, citing a survey by Randstad Singapore. The survey, which included responses from 2,602 individuals in Singapore, highlights significant generational and gender disparities in AI adoption. The data shows that among the workers who have never used AI tools, 43% are from Generation X. In contrast, higher adoption rates were observed among Millennials and Gen Z employees, indicating a generational shift towards embracing AI technologies.
The report also points to a gender gap in AI usage, with women being 11% less likely to use AI tools than men. Despite the varied levels of adoption, AI integration into the workplace appears to be gaining traction. According to the survey, 11% of respondents reported using AI daily, while 19% used it regularly. Approximately a third of the participants said they employed AI tools occasionally, and only 9% indicated they had used AI once.
Meanwhile, over one-third believe AI will significantly influence their jobs, while another 33% anticipate only a minor impact. At the same time, 4% of respondents fear job loss due to AI, and another 4% reported that AI has already affected their roles. Meanwhile, 14% foresee no impact from AI on their employment. David Blasco, the country director at Randstad Singapore said, “When employers upskill talent with necessary skills and provide access to safe AI tools, organisations in Singapore can cultivate a skilled and adaptable workforce, as well as position the city-state as an attractive talent centre.”
